# How to temporarily disable your form

If you wish to stop collecting data from the user and hide the form for a short
period of time, then you can turn off Enable form from Settings > General.

 * If Form type is Widget, then disabling the form will not show the form on the
   website at all.
   
   

 * If Form type is Link, then disabling the form will redirect the link back to
   our home page.
   
   

 * If Form type is Embed, then disabling the form will show a blank screen.
   
   

In a nutshell, your customers will not see the chat interface and no data will
be collected.



Note



This doesn't remove the form completely. To remove the form, please follow the
